I thought this would make a good group discussion. (I’ve done my own private reading on the subject and have some of my own answers/ opinions to the following questions but anyway…)

To those ECs that follow Marian apparitions do you find the Marian apparitions of the RC, Coptic and other Churches complimentary? What unique insight and distictiveness comes from the West vs. the East?
 
Whenever you see an apparition, look at their feet.

If they have no feet then they are hiding something, and that something usually is cloven feet. And that means it is not a holy apparition, but a demonic one/.
 
You don’t actually think that demons really have cloven feet they try to hide, do you, Starwynd?

The best way to tell the spiritual authenticity of an apparition is the fruits it has on those at the time.

For example, the apparitions of the Theotokos at Zeitun in Egypt resulted in Mahometans converting and being baptized at peril of their lives.

And also, they were approved and recognized by the Coptic Catholic, Coptic Orthodox, and Greek Orthodox patriarchs of Alexandria and inscribed in their respective calendars.

Where did this idea of “no feet” come from? I have heard this before, and one argument against a certain very well known unapproved apparition is that the apparition has no feet! I have never heard that any Church investigation of an apparition mentioned feet.🤷
 
I do know that St. Martin of Tours spit on an “apparition” of our lord (not capitalized for a reason) because it was a Satanic trick. The apparition did not have the wounds of the Cross. That’s how St. Martin knew it was a deception.

**I had heard this test before, though I didn’t know it’s connection with St. Martin!

Thanks.**
